This template is used to wrap and add syntax highlighting to Lua code snippets, for use in documentation pages. Examples:
1. A simple example:
{{lua|"foo bar"}}
produces
"foo bar"
2. A more complex example:
{{lua|1={spec = "gender/number_spec", qualifiers = nil or {"qualifier1", "qualifier2", ...} }}
produces
{spec = "gender/number_spec", qualifiers = nil or {"qualifier1", "qualifier2", ...}
Note in the latter case, the param |1= needs to be explicitly given to avoid the equal signs in the code snippet from being interpreted as specifying named parameters, and a space is used at the end of the snippet to avoid parser problems with three braces in a row.
